A national emblem is a symbol that represents a nation. It is usually something from the natural world, eg. an animal or bird, but can be any object.
National emblems may appear on such items as the national flag, coat of arms, or other patriotic materials. A formal national emblem is not to be confused with less formal symbols that may be associated with tourism or cliches, for example windmills in Holland.
